The experience we have gained over the years has led us to work with a variety of clients, projects, and architectural styles.
Whether it’s a private client or an architectural firm with international projects, VilliZANINI’s philosophy remains the same:
we aim to empathize with the essence of the project and understand the spaces where our works will be installed.
Only through open dialogue among all parties involved can we create wrought iron elements that are fully integrated with the project’s vision and that gain value over time.
VilliZANINI is a company faithful to its artisanal model, attentive to detail and the quality of craftsmanship.
Alongside the traditional working of iron and metals, we incorporate tools and technologies that allow us to create architectural elements with the highest precision.
On one hand, we dare to be highly creative, forging elaborate and realistic decorations. On the other hand, we possess the technical skills to collaborate with architects and interior designers, always ensuring maximum reliability—even on international projects.
Our goal is to amaze the client by delivering handcrafted pieces that exceed every expectation.
We have passed on the metalworking techniques for 14 generations. Today we are a contemporary enterprise aiming to bring together the artisan work with the actual lifestyle of our clients.
We remain faithful to our background while looking at the future: more than 360 years of uninterrupted activity represent a treasure to preserve and to pass down to future generations.
We identify 1655 as the starting point in our arrow of time. On 6th February 1955 we received a “Diploma of Craftsmanship Seniority” certifying more than 300 years of uninterrupted artisan activity.
The tools of the trade: the anvil. We could say that the anvil quintessentially evokes the art of blacksmithing, and this one dated 1710 is still used by our skilled artisans in our atelier. Come visit us to see it for yourself!
A faimily affair. This photo portrays the great-grandparents and uncles of Villi ZANINI posing around the anvil.
From father to son. Grandfather Bernardo Zanini and father Natalino working together in the historic workshop located in Cornuda, industrial countryside in Northern Italy.
Villi formally joins the family company, making the most of his technical studies. The use of 3D CAD softwares allows the company to approach the international markets and to cooperate with interior design and architectural practices worldwide.

Our promise for the Future? Becoming guardians of an Artistic and Artisan capital, by keeping on creating timeless architectural elements.
